Wyden Votes For Iran War Powers Resolution to Prevent War Without Congressional Approval

Oregonians Don’t Want U.S. Troops Mired In Another Endless Middle East War

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., issued the following statement today on his vote for the Iran War Powers Resolution, which reaffirms Congress’s constitutional power over the power to declare war or end hostilities:

“I voted for this resolution to give voice to Oregonians across the state who made clear they don’t support sending American troops to fight and die in another endless war in the Middle East,” said Wyden, who voted against the Iraq War in 2002. “I supported Senator Kaine’s resolution to reinforce Congress’s constitutional power over war, which is wholly consistent with defending the United States and American troops from imminent attack, as well as supporting allies like Israel.”
